Tree HouseBeersSilk
Silk is an American Double IPA crafted with a proprietary yeast developed in the Winter of 2023. It represents an incredible leap for our unique and original IPA program at Tree House. It is constructed to be a vehicle for intense hop biotransformation and lupulin expression in a way that is wholly different but equally satisfying to our iconic House yeast.
Leads with citrus, tropical and orchard; also candy.

Silk! Internally one of our favorite new releases of the year. We are pumped to welcome it back to our coolers!
We are delighted to welcome Silk back into our coolers today. This gem is a product of much experimentation over the past winter. It is overflowing with tropical fruit character but maintains a dry and crushable finish.
Stagnation is not in our nature. Breeders of hops are perpetually engaged in cultivating novel varieties, which fascinates us as craftspeople. Our interest lies not only in the diverse array of exciting new characteristics these new varieties bring forth but also in the intriguing manner in which they undergo biotransformation when interacting with various yeast strains. Our latest exploration of this ideal manifests in our newest beer series, drawing inspiration from this winter’s Data Set series and elevated by our excitement for our 11th Anniversary Double IPA. These new beers harmonize exceptionally well with new New Zealand hop varieties recently discovered in our travels. Contrary to most yeast explorations in the Curiosity series, this one has some staying power for us. Velvet, Silk, Satin, and Tree of Discovery, pictured here, introduce this blend in a larger series of beers embodying our restless spirit for progress and innovation. We find them to be intensely flavorful and aromatic, veering more towards vivid tropical notes and retaining more of the pure hop essence of the hops they contain rather than the unique melon, stone fruit, and sweet fruit profile typically found in our House yeast. Of course, our core beers remain unchanged and taste fantastic of late, thanks to diligence on the brew house and better hop selections at every turn. We do not wish to rest on our laurels, and we hope you have a chance to try this series - we find them to be delightful. Thank you for reading, and have a great rest of your day.
Satin is an American Double IPA crafted with a proprietary yeast developed this past winter. Through each successive fermentation, we continue to adapt, hone our process, and push the boundaries of hoppy beer. Satin is constructed to be a vehicle for intense hop biotransformation and lupulin expression in a wholly different but equally satisfying way as our iconic House yeast. Galaxy, Motueka, Citra, and Mandarina Bavaria blend seamlessly into a bright display of tropical delights. Pouring a stunning opaque yellow color into your glass, it purveys vibrant and expressive notes of mixed tropical fruit, sweet lime, citrus gummies, and overripe pineapple. We are in love with this series, now containing Silk, Velvet, Satin, and Tree of Discovery.
Silk is a brand new beer in a brand new series that features the yeast blend developed this winter as part of our Data Set series. It is completely recognizable as a Tree House Double IPA but introduces a fresh layer of dense tropical fruit and a milky yellow appearance. Brewed with a multinational blend of hops hand-sourced from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand - Citra, El Dorado, Eclipse, and Peacharine - Silk pours a gorgeous milky yellow color into your glass with intensely vibrant and expressive notes of mixed tropical fruit, rip summer stone fruit, and citrus gummies. This beer required us to travel the world over and test the limit of our knowledge to make it. It is a testament to our continued restlessness, refinement, and innovation in the art of brewing hoppy beer. We are delighted by how it turned out and hope you love it as much as we do.
